A Woman's Search ~ Ordinary Woman/Extraordinary God

A WOMAN'S SEARCH

Imagined by
Misty

What is it I am searching for?
What matters so to me?
Is it something I may never find . . .
Something I will never see?

My heart aches for things . . .
I do not understand.
With each beat I realize
the yearning widens and expands.

Is it to be in love so deep
that nothing matters more?
Or do I search for secret keys . . .
to hidden, secret doors?

This searching is not something new,
it's been with me all along.
Placed deep within my soul . . .
by one who touched me, one so strong.

I've lived in search of many things
I thought would fill this empty place . . .
Each proved not to be the missing piece ...
not to fill up this space.

Reaching, clutching . . . wishing so . . .
did not make it happen in my heart.
It only left me yearning
as I had from the very start.

Riches, fame and worldly goods . . .
are but a momentary peace.
They vanish with the morning sun,
the song they brought has ceased.

Try as I might I could not find . . .
what my heart was looking for,
Until I looked into the face . . .
that stood at the open door.

It was the love I needed . . .
one that left me wanting nothing more.
It was the love that took me . . .
as I was and didn't ask for more.

This love took nothing from me,
but the things I longed to shed.
It renewed my life and covered me . . .
as this heart that loved me bled.

Oh, God, you found me searching
and you took me by the hand.
You told me I was not alone . . .
and with me you would stand.

Now, when this woman feels in need
and empty of what I lack . . .
I turn to none but Jesus,
for He will not turn His back.

He cares not where I've come from . . .
He cares not where I've been.
For His eyes look upon me . . .
through the blood and sees no sin.

As I was searching, . . .
looking for what I felt I'd never find.
There You were, just waiting, saying,
"Put your hand in Mine."

"You are not in this search alone. Every woman who has ever lived has walked in her own search. Moved through life knowing that there was 'one' connection she had to make. For me, even though I was brought up as a Christian, . . . that connection took years to finally bond. Not because of Jesus, but because of me.

      Oh, the world lies to us, knowing we are searching. It offers what might appear for the moment to be answers! But, you will soon find . . . what you have grasped vanishes into dust and pain.

      A woman, like you . . . I searched and found Jesus. Now, my search is different. It is to find in me the woman my God wants me to be. But knowing that He is with me . . .
makes every moment a victory.

      Knowing Him will make every other area of your life so fulfilling. If you've tried everything else, try Jesus.

       Still on the potter's wheel
         Misty
